Two teams that stand to upgrade obvious weaknesses, and are at least average now, conservatively. It checks out, imo.
Seattle is way too high, but I think Houston could be legit next year, especially if they address the RB position. They're young and very talented, and were also bitten by the injury bug a bit this year. They're also going to have a ton of cap space to work with.
Goff is the guy Brady haters act like he is.
Mediocre arm. Struggles against any hint of pressure. Not very mobile. Rigid to the point he is a dependent of the talent/coaching to produce.
Yeah but he doesn't have it between the ears anything like what Brady does yet, which is definitely going to be a struggle for him long-term. Thankfully he seems like a smart QB, so he can make that happen.
Of course, won't bury Goff. Just saying the current iteration ain't it if we're talking about a tier 1 or 2 QB.
You don't see too many QBs succeed without a strong OL, so that has to be addressed. I'll give their defense credit, they played great against NO and NE to end the year, but they've got some major pieces on that side that need to be paid, so FA/the draft will be huge for them if they want to contend again next year.
That's the thing, the Rams OL was probably one of the better OL's of the past 20 years or so. It will probably only get worse. They were historically dominant runblocking.
Why do you ignore the chargers game? That was in the playoffs too.
I don't know that I'd go that far. They weren't even top 5 overall this year according to PFF, and they played terribly down the stretch.
Kudos to him on the Chargers game. That was his lone bright spot in the playoffs. I see his performances in the AFCCG and SB as being similar to Peyton's in that the defense and running game were the reasons they won, not the QB play.
This year's title, more than any other year of his career, was a product of his team and not him.
They're really burying them by putting them 4th!
And nothing.
